I looked at a Farmall 450 yesterday with spin out rims on it. I think it is a pretty good deal except for the fact one rim is rusted out and needs replaced. I have never seen a 450 with these rims before and wondering how rare they are to find a replacement. It will need a rim and new rear tires but I just want to get a rim first. Anybody have any leads on a spinout rim size 14 - 38 with 6 bars, or is there some place that will make one close to Champaign IL???

I for got the pics. Still trying to decide if I want to go get it or not??? I want it but don't want to spend the money type deal. I find deals like this and sit around and hee and haw about them too much. Maybe I should just block myself from Craigslist for a while.. HAHA

Or, maybe you could just go back to the more common non-spinout rims ???The 450 with 2 point Fast Hitch(and I think live PTO) and Torque Amplifier looks like a lot of tractor for $1,500. Be sure to check the T/A, Big Dollars if it needs fixing. NJDale

For 1500 if the TA works I would be all over that if I was you! I heard one time that the spin outs were especially popular on tractors that were used with corn pickers. Judging by the placement of the headlights, I would say that tractor was under a picker at one time or another.

I had a 450 for a while and it was a great tractor. Does like gas though....

I am looking for the cost of a rim and tire first. I have him talked down some and I think I may be getting it next week some time when school gets out. It did have a picker on it and I will most likely be putting a picker back on it. I have found that 2ME picker and I think it would look neat on the tractor. My buddy says go for it, and the man did pull it ?Monday and got it running and it does run prettty good but, the tach is broken, the lights don't work, and there is oil leaking from the top somewhere, don't know if it power steering or bad valve cover gasket. I will be painting it this winter but would like to get the picker on it by fall to take to a few shows.

The pick cam off of a Farmall M. So all should line up shouldn't it??? Or should I put the picker on the Super M?? I Thought it would look better and neater on the 450. I have to work a deal on this first. The guy and I are throwing offers back and forth right now...

If I dont get this I will look for a 400 with a two point. That is what Grandpa used to have back in the day..
